Gold surges to 7-week high as festive demand pick up

New Delhi, Aug 19 (PTI) Gold prices Thursday rose by Rs
50 to trade at nearly seven-week high of Rs 18,950 per 10 gram
in the bullion market here on increased buying by stockists
and jewellers to meet the festive season demand.
Silver, however, declined by Rs 100 to Rs 29,700 per kg
due to weak demand from industrial units and coins makers.
Marketmen said strong global cues also boosted the metal
prices here.
Gold in overseas markets, which normally set the price
trend on the domestic front, gained 0.2 per cent to trade at
seven-week high of 1,231.53 an ounce.
On the domestic front, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per
cent purity rose by Rs 50 each to Rs 18,950 and Rs 18,850 per
ten gram respectively. Sovereigns traded at last level of Rs
14,800 per piece of eight grams in restricted buying.
On the other hand, silver ready fell by Rs 100 to Rs
29,700 per kg and weekly-based delivery by Rs 225 to Rs 29,315
per kg.
Meanwhile, silver coins maintained around previous level
of Rs 34,500 for buying and Rs 34,600 for selling of 100
pieces. PTI RS
